Little did I know that this weightloss journey would turn into a path far greater than physical changes. The challenge I embarked upon June 2009 has been one of brutally introspective moments facing shame, accusation, and finally absolution. But primarily it was a journey filled with reward and enlightment. Today it strenghtens me to realize I accomplished a great task and NEVER GAVE UP!Even today in 2011

Started my day with being thankful that I work so close to home. It facilitates finding extra tine to exercise, cook dinner, and having the kids closeby.

My lunch got to an even LATER start today, but AGAIN I was determined not to miss my me time. Off I went again to mulberry. I hope that logging my walks and blogging about my experience once again motivates me to stay on a healthy path. I've been there before : FOCUSED AND DETERMINED. #fitbyfourth is just the beginning.

My lunch hour got to a late start but I was determined to get out to the park to walk and I did. I woke up this morning with such a different idea of what and how I should live my life. I finally understand the meaning of the words live intently that means you take every moment every day and determine what you're going to do don't let the day where the pressures or work for people determine how you're going to feel what you're going to do the schedule your day out and you accomplish a better that way. Started off by getting up a little bit earlier instead of the seventh snooze. I had prepared my lunch attire to walk outside and then also have my extra scrubs available.

I have only one hour the day that's completely secured as I'm not destined to do something about one hour is my lunch hour where patients leave out of the office and I'm available to go to lunch I have determined to make the best of that one hour now.

I will go to the park I am praying tomorrow to hitch my bike up to the back of my car and go down to Mulberry Park and start writing my bike at lunchtime.

I will allot enough time to get back to the office and eat my lunch and obviously a change of clothes in the necessary stuff I need to do to be fresh for work.

Then with this new schedule I can determine that I do have time to exercise. I have always been drawn to nature to the outdoors because of the freedom that the outdoors gives you to clear your head your mind your heart. The outdoors has always been my healing point and going to the park and walking or doing whatever like riding bikes or just sitting down and observing nature has always giving me a sense of peace.

So I'm going to take advantage schedule my day out appropriately make dinner at home and give my family the best. I have totally change my attitude towards work where I know it's a necessity but it's not the consumption of my day ,time,energy,spirit, motivation, and family life. I will learn to live intently every day and make it a purpose to live life with a new feeling of what is healthy, what is: intently living instead of just getting by and letting life consequences live my life for me.
